Optimizing hospital length of stay and bed allocation using a fuzzy stochastic transportation problem framework with lomax distribution, by Dr.D. Kalpanapriya, Pullooru Bhavana

“…Additionally, the integration of fuzzy and stochastic elements led to a 20 . reduction in bed allocation mismatches, optimizing resource utilization across hospital departments. • Novel Integration of Lomax Distribution in FSTPWLD: Utilizes the Lomax distribution to model heavy-tailed LOS data, capturing inherent uncertainty and variability in hospital discharge times. • Optimized Decision-Making for Healthcare Management: Employs probabilistic constraints and fuzzy stochastic models to balance operational costs and patient care quality, improving resource allocation. • Validated through Simulations and Practical Scenarios: Numerical experiments highlight the model's effectiveness in reducing bottlenecks and enhancing hospital administration efficiency.…”

Exploration design for Q-learning-based adaptive linear quadratic optimal regulators under stochastic disturbances by Vina Putri Virgiani, Shiro Masuda

“…Q-learning optimizes the state-action policy by estimating the Q-function iteratively. This study proposes exploration signal design for the bias-free Q-learning algorithm that modifies the recursively defined Q-function by adding a disturbance-influenced term and utilizes an Instrumental Variable (IV) technique to resolve the bias-error issue. …”

Research Progress on Surface Design and Solid-Liquid Composite Lubrication Technology of Friction Pairs in High-Pressure Plunger Pumps by CUI Bin, HOU Shanshan, ZHANG Rui, LI Panpan, LIU Xiaohong, JI Li, LI Hongxuan

“…Plunger pumps， as one of the most critical power components in mechanical hydraulic systems， are widely used in aerospace， construction machinery and other fields due to their advantages of high rotational speed， high pressure， high transmission efficiency， diverse variable displacement mechanisms and high power density.In recent years， with the development of new-generation high-speed， high-pressure， intelligent and long-life mechanical hydraulic systems， more stringent adaptive requirements have been placed on the safety， stability and reliability of plunger pumps.The tribological performance of the three key friction pairs (plunger pair， valve assembly pair and slipper pair) of plunger pump under high-speed and high-pressure conditions is the critical factor limiting the service life of plunger pumps， determining the stability and reliability of mechanical hydraulic systems.This article first introduced the friction and wear problems of the three key friction pairs of plunger pumps and the forms of lubrication failure， and then summarized the surface treatment technologies for improving the friction and wear of the key friction pairs of plunger pumps and compared them.Finally， based on the service conditions and research status of plunger pumps， the issues that needed to be solved for the lubrication of plunger pump friction pairs in the new generation of mechanical design were proposed， and prospected these issues.…”
